Manually portraits on wood

This is my father, so does) First polishing plywood, then takes a black and white photo, a carbon, carries a contour on the plywood, and then using the cautery - this is such a red-hot needle burns shades the face, etc. It turns out great, but for some reason on a photo scorched portrait looks worse than it really is
